Also right here: http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/download/finfront.pdf Allow me to summarize for those who don't have the time to read it: Finasteride (1mg) taken daily causes is the preeminent cause of hair loss in men under the age of 30. Finasteride seems to affect the frontal part of the...

A number of users on this forum have regrown hair up front with finasteride, so it certainly is possible. And, as Britannia stated, there have been studies done that prove this. jumpedthegun, i noticed the same thing around 6 months on finasteride. It's a good sign. As for seeing terminal...

Technically, sure, you would be protecting your follicles even more from DHT. However, this does not mean it will be any more effective in terms of stopping the balding process or promoting regrowth. If you're using finasteride, you can be pretty sure you've lowered the dht in your system to an...

I'd say he's a Norwood 1.78. I'd advise him to hop on propecia and hit the gym. Maybe tan a bit more. WTF!

I'm in about the same place you are temples-wise, Deaner. Also at about 18 months on finasteride, but have been using minoxidil for a year as well. Haven't gained too much ground up there, but if all the fuzz i've got up there does thicken up a bit, I'll be ecstatic.

I agree with Gardener. Definitely stay away from finasteride for now. You're nowhere near a NW2. You have some very slight temple recession. That does not mean you're losing your hair. Keep an eye on it, but you look fine to me.

A common mania brought on by the start of treatment. The mind tends to get a bit ahead of the body in these situations. If you're taking finasteride now, you're doing just about everything you can to stop your hairloss. However, you will most likely not see any results for at least 6 months...

Actually, this was not my point. From what I've read it's not that we produce more DHT as we age, it's that our hair follicles become more sensitive to it as we age. This is why finasteride won't work indefinitely; though it inhibits the formation of DHT, eventually the follicles that are...

hairloss often proceeds in starts and stops. many people start to recede a bit in their mid-20s to early 30s. this is what's sometimes called a 'mature hairline' because the person's hairloss often stabilizes after this. it's pretty common, actually, for someone's hairline to recede a bit for a...

bigj, the rogaine box says vertex only because that's what the FDA trial they conducted studied. Since their FDA approval is based on a trial measuring success in the vertex area only, they have to specify that in their product literature. it's pretty well established that minoxidil does...

It is possible to regrow hair lost in the last 3-4 years. A general rule of thumb people cite is that hair lost more than 5 years ago will probably not come back. I am not aware of any science that backs this up, but it seems reasonable. As for regrowing hair that you've lost in the past...

Bartman, can you back up this statement? I'm pretty sure you can't. Even the total suppression of DHT in a human male does not change one's physiology. I'm sure you've heard about all the Haitian men who produce no DHT and are perfectly normal. Gyno is, in my opinion, one of the most...

You're totally killing my buzz here.

About 3 months into my propecia regimen, my hair started to get greasy very quickly as well. I was seriously thinking about washing my hair twice a day. Fortunately, the grease stopped flowin' after about 1 month.
